Jacket Combinations

I bought a new Samuelsohn odd jacket today.  While considering the purchase I experimented with some different shirt and tie combinations.  I thought it would be interesting to show how you can pair a classic jacket with basic gray trousers and then produce a variety of different looks by merely changing the shirt and tie.  I like some of the combinations better than others, but I think the photographs illustrate the point.

J. Crew

J. Crew

This wrinkled, sloppy look at J. Crew includes khaki pants, plaid shirt, blue cardigan and a messenger bag.

Polo

White cotton pants, black braided belt and blue & white windowpane polo.

Snazzy Kid

This is a cute look for the well-dressed child in your life.  Narrow blue and white pinstripe dress shirt, black tie with white skull and crossbones, and a gray cardigan.

Another Outfit from Ralph Lauren

Here is another mannequin from Ralph Lauren.  The mannequin is dressed in plaid shorts, a blue contrast-collar dress shirt, navy tie and tan cardigan sweater.

Linen Suit

This mannequin, from a local Belk department store, is dressed in a natural-colored linen suit, a turquoise-blue dress shirt and pink striped bow tie.  It's a very Southern Preppy outfit.

Casual Outfit

I found this mannequin in a local Belk department store.  The mannequin is dressed in a pink-check slim-fit non-iron shirt from Ralph Lauren.  I liked the fit so much I bought six in a variety of colors and patterns.  The outfit also includes a tan linen jacket, dark blue jeans, a dark brown belt, aviator-style sunglasses and a Fossil messenger bag.
